ACORN????

The ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION FOR REFORM NOW...has been the center of controversy for years. I am surprised that after years of both questionable and ultimately illegal activities, money has continued to flow into their coffers.
This week a 20 year old girl and a 25-26 year old young man have made 4 stings exposing illegal tax advice and at the least immoral behavior. The women caught have been fired. That's OK, they should have been. However, is this all that should be done?
I am not talking about funding that may be cut off. I am wondering where the money has been going...it certainly isn't in the offices or for payroll. So where is the money and who is running the show? Someone has to be heading this organization up and hiring these people. Someone has to be telling these employees what to say and do. So, where is that person? Who is that person?
Here are some sites that might be informative. If you know more, I hope you will let us know...

    These are responses by our government leaders to cut funding as a result of the undercover filming of Acorn activities.
